Hi! This is my personal space. If you're looking for my professional and technical endeavours, see Kastelo, Syncthing, or Safe Sky. I've done a bunch of open source work, on Syncthing (GitHub) of course but also other stuff. I post some written words on Mastodon now and then. Very occasionally, I write blog posts. Mastodon is your best bet if you want to send words in my direction. Mostly, though, I like going places and taking photos. Those pictures end up here and on Mastodon. I also keep track of the water temperature for local diving.

Latest Photos

Kalle, the russel terrier, sleeping in one of the office armchairs.
An Aerochrome processed plant, purple flowers on reddish leaves, with short depth of field. It's very colorful and bit eerie.
A mass of small red flowers, a white wall and some tree branches faintly visible in the background due to the short depth of field.
A sunflower, among the flintstone pebbles on the beach of Rügen outside Sassnitz. The sunflower is bright yellow and the rest is essentually black and white, though there is no selective color filtering going on.
Sunset, seen through the porthole of a ferry, with some stairs and scaffolding in the foregound and the sea in the background. It looks a bit soft and and dreamy.
A pineapple. in a bowl of wire mesh. It's nothing special really, I just liked the textures and the patterns in the mesh.
A colour photo of our rather cute Terrier dog, Kalle, in the lap of my wife who's reading. He's looking.relaxed and a bit tired, but also curious about what the photographer is doing.
An underwater photo of a bust, possibly part of a clothing mannequin or a statue, partially covered in algae growth.
A colour photo of a corner of the roof of a beach kiosk. There's barbed wire, presumably to prevent kinds from climbing onto the roof. In the background, sand dunes and the sea.
A colour photo of a beach kiosk, among the sand dunes on a beach. There's dry grass, and trees in the background. The kiosk is closed and borded up.
A colour photo of a wardrobe, clothes hanging on both sides. At the end is a small window with a fairly large and bulbous potted cactus.
A colour photo of Kalle, the terrier, standing atop a rock near the sea on a beautiful, clear spring day.
